A Svelte $79K Prefab Cabin Promises to Work as Well in Your Backyard as It Does in the Woods
UK studio Aylott & Van Tromp’s design aims to feel like a hotel suite, but the firm isn’t telling you what to do with it.
UK studio Aylott & Van Tromp’s design aims to feel like a hotel suite, but the firm isn’t telling you what to do with it.
Aylott & Van Tromp has some know-how when it comes to high-end design. The UK-based interior design and branding agency’s clients range from Hilton, for whom the firm "redesigned breakfast" (bright whites can be jarring early in the morning, so more warm tones), to a luxe Jiu Jitsu gym (dark hardwoods, mood lighting—this is serious stuff). Whatever’s being built, from the branding down to the materials, the vibe is luxe, the look a little Scandinavian.

Same goes for its latest, a new prefab cabin the company developed from the ground up to sell to hoteliers interested in bite-sized additions to their properties, or creating entire resorts anew. Like Aylott & Van Tromp’s previous endeavor in prefab, another cabin designed for resorts in collaboration with UK firm Koto, the Nokken cabin is customizable down to the finishes and fixtures.
"We sculpted the cabins with ideals of individuality, adaptability, and efficiency in mind," says James Van Tromp, founder and director of the firm with his associate, Nathan Aylott.
Pale-toned European larch flooring and ceilings are juxtaposed with the dark-stained walls of the cabin, also in larch, creating dramatic interiors.
